    Not notable. Only source is a tournament results page. That does not establish notability. The majority of this wordy article is completely unsourced. Handpolk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 22:45, 27 June 2015 (UTC)

    Trying to clean it up, this article is real bad. Nothing is sourced and it reads like a guy telling stories to his grandkids. I looked for reputable sources to back this stuff up and found nothing. The only thing I can find that we can source is that he won a couple small tournaments over 20 years ago Handpolk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 02:30, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
    There aren't any references on this guy. Which is exactly why he isn't notable. Handpolk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 02:36, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
    I suppose Sports Illustrated isn't notable? He's won a World Series of Poker bracelet, that's the automatic criteria of the Project. He's also listed in endless places for his accomplishments. Sure the article reads like it was written by a chatty family member, but that is just style. You might want to again familiarize yourself with guidelines like the sports players one, where virtually all baseball players get an article simply for having played. The PokerProject has a far higher bar. 2005 (talk) 06:26, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
    I added that source as it backed up him being a professional bowler. However beyond that all it does is identify him as a '7-card stud expert,' and then quote him. That's really thin. Handpolk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ 20:01, 28 June 2015 (UTC)
